High-surf ad­vi­sory posted

A high-surf ad­vi­sory has been posted for east-fac­ing shores of Maui and Molokai through 6 a.m. Thurs­day, the Na­tional Weather Ser­vice said.

Surf is ex­pected to build to 6 to 10 feet through tonight. A north-north­east swell is gen­er­at­ing the ad­vi­sory-level surf, which should slowly di­min­ish through tonight. It will be fol­lowed by a new north-north­east swell, which is ex­pected to build to ad­vi­sory lev­els again late Thurs­day night and con­tinue through the week­end.

The ad­vi­sory means there will be strong break­ing waves and beach ero­sion and rip cur­rents.

The fore­cast for Maui to­day is windy with oc­ca­sional wind­ward and mauka show­ers and scat­tered show­ers over lee­ward sec­tions. Trades are ex­pected to in­crease to 15 to 30 mph. High tem­per­a­tures are fore­cast for 80 to 85 de­grees and lows 67 to 72 de­grees.

Cen­tral trash route missed

A refuse route in Kahu­lui was missed Tues­day due to a staffing short­age, the county De­part­ment of En­vi­ron­men­tal Man­age­ment Solid Waste Di­vi­sion an­nounced.
